Lily and I spent most of our morning decorating eggs together. She was in her element creating, painting, gluing and making a beautiful mess :))
She is a creative soul at heart and I love seeing her joy unfold when she is free to explore and do what makes her heart sing. I asked her tonight after reading our Bible story what was her favorite part of our day and she immediately said, "decorating eggs with you".
Last week while we were on a walk she found this stick and insisted that we make a cross out of it. Then we talked about what Jesus did on the cross for us and she wanted to draw a picture of him to nail to the cross. Today I received a gift in the mail from a dear friend with this love charm bracelet. The timing was perfect as we reflect and remember the great sacrifice and love Christ poured out for us on the cross. I am so undeserving and yet He loved me enough to bear my sin unto death so that I may have life.
We also made some resurrection eggs today to help her better understand the meaning of Easter. Here is a clip of Lily telling the story of God's love and redemption...
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lasts down his life for his friends." John 15:13
May you reflect in the power of the cross this Easter.
